Baos = perfect Spicy Peanut & Coconut Beef soup was very good. But wasn't spicy at all..so that was disappointing. Flavour was great still. Would ask then to make spicy next time. Would have given 5 stars if the soup was actually spicy. But it was 100% mild.
We came here at lunch for the Pho Challenge. We called in to make a reservation to make sure they could take us for the challenge. Before you begin the challenge, they make you sign a waiver. You have 30 minutes to eat all the noodles and meat (balls, brisket and rare beef), but didn't need to drink the soup. If you don't finish the challenge, they charge you the equivalent of around 3 bowls of pho. We speculated on how to prepare (ie pull out the noodles before the soup soaks in, etc) but we weren't successful. The broth was tasty, so it was a pleasure to eat. The "Dundas Platter" is great to share for 2 people. It is really worth it to sample a little bit of everything; especially if you don't know what to order.
Spacious comfortable restaurant with lots of parking and decent eats. We started with the Dundas platter. The spring rolls were delicious but there were only two small pieces. The salad roll was standard. The chicken and beef skewers alright--not particularly flavourful. The cassava fries were interesting but could have been better seasoned/salted and cut into thinner fries. The bun bun hue was yummy with a good ratio of meat to noodles, but the broth was oily. For dessert, the deep fried bananas were golden and crispy on the outside and sweet and soft on the inside. However, there was not enough ice cream for the bananas, and the drizzle of strawberry sauce was a bit out of place.
Pho meets craft beer here. Parking is available on the side streets, as well as the tiny lot in front. Staff were friendly. The interior really looks like that of a Western-themed bar restaurant. Wooden tables and trim. Modern but plain. Craft beer selection isn't bad. They had some 20 brews on tap. Of course, one must remember that there are 20 craft breweries in the direct vicinity. Pho tasted decent. My only real complaint was that there wasn't much volume. It was mostly soup, even with all the toppings poured in. See photo. I kinda left hungry. Lastly, there's a pho challenge here. Eat a few pounds of beef noodle soup in a set amount of time and it's free. Didn't see a Wall Of Fame anywhere. Maybe nobody has successfully done this and lived to talk about it. Not sure what to think of this place to be honest. There are both better pho places and breweries a few blocks away. However, none of those places have both. In that respect this place is unique.
I liked the ambiance of the place bit I noticed it was a bit quite for a restaurant. People don't make noice. It's like modern bit cozy :) LOVED this little table at the corner and their lamps. I wish they could have more tables for small groups. Food was super tasty and service was very attentive. They have a good selection of beers for a little bar :) Try this korean Soju which is sweet and you can't feel the alcohol but drink it wisely ;) We noticed everybody was leaving and it was because they close sharp :)
Celebrated three family members birthdays here and we were welcomed with friendly service, delicious meals and no plating fees for our cake. We were pleasantly surprised with how fresh and tasty all the dishes were. The vermicelli bowl is so bomb and we'll priced at only $18- I had to take the rest home. Tons of vegan options too. We will be back- thank you!
Late to join the party but better late than never! I went with my "foodie date" Juicealyn. We both live 5 min. away & are so happy, we have found "our new spot!" (Juicealyn proclaimed). I remember when this was a fish n chips joint. I love that they pay homage to that & have it on the menu. It's so unassuming from the outside, in a mini plaza next to Subway, Domino's, & a convenience store. It's modern, cozy, has an East Van mural, nice lighting, good music over speakers, not too loud. It's got a nice ambience that you could have dinner or go in for some drinks & appies. The menu served us both well, I like spicy soups, deep fried rolls and craft beer. Check check check! Juicealyn loves soup & Vietnamese coffee, check & check! We shared the Vancity special which is a deep-fried roll and a salad roll together. So good, & unique! We each ordered a specialty noodle soup. I had the Sate Chicken - mild spice. It was a nice, red, aromatic broth of peanut sauce & coconut. Yum! I would add more spice/ heat next time. I want to try their wonton chips nachos next time! Also they have a separate vegan menu! It may not be easy to get to unless you live on this side of East Van, but maybe you'll be out this way hitting up the breweries and it's not far from those. (P49, Andinas, Powell)
Not to shabby at all. I actually wanted to come here and try the bun bo hue challenge then got side tracked and ended getting a few things. Here are the selections my sister and I have chosen. Garlic wings with butter - actually pretty fucking good. Deep fried garlic, with the right about of crispiness Pho dac biet - 10 I'm pretty sure I saw a sticker that said no msg outside but don't quote me Bun bo hue - my sister gives it a 10 Vancouver special roll: ok the idea of combining salad roll and spring roll together was not a bad idea. Personally I'd probably dip it in fish sauce then peanut sauce but that's just me. More so cause it has the awesome spring roll inside. Warning: do eat the roll fast when fresh the rice roll got hard around the spring roll and it was harder to chew, none the less pretty good!! Ok my least fav was bao bun, not that it's not good it's just not my jam. In my head I was thinking of like the new town bakery pork bun but forgot the restaurant had more of a modern twist to it it's good but for myself prob not what I would crave. We totally forgot to order the cheese cake that was recommended by the server but next time we will order dessert! I'm glad there's a place with those huge bowl of pho challenges cause I'm so fascinated with how much I could really eat. Definitely going to come back and try. Oh and I totally appreciated the server also giving his honest opinion about the cassava fries! The ambiance was good! Service was good! Give it a try!
For the better part of my childhood, I grew up in East Van... specifically, in the area close to the PNE. Back in the day, it was hardly the place known for being able to find restaurants of any kind. However, over the last few years, a new bunch of eateries have popped up around the northeast corner of Vancouver. One such place that I noticed in my social media feed recently was Dundas Eat and Drink. Located in a tiny mini mall that I remember frequenting when I was in elementary school, Dundas Eat and Drink is a bit hidden from view and isn't immediately noticeable from the street. Based on their menu that I glanced before showing up, I knew to expect an eclectic array of asian and western fusion dishes. Not knowing which dishes were best here, we decided to try a bunch of items... first up was the Mango Smoothie ($5.95) and Lime Soda ($3.95). It seemed like they had trouble figuring out how to make my lime soda because you could see them behind the bar struggling trying to get the right balance of ice, soda, and syrup, tasting it (hope they used a new spoon each time), then readjusting and tasting again, over and over... We ordered up the Garlic Butter Wings ($12) but, unfortunately, they wound up giving us Honey Garlic Wings instead. When we mentioned this to the server, she acknowledged that she put in the wrong order and they took this off our bill. When our actual order of garlic butter wings arrived, we looked at them long and hard because they looked very similar to the honey garlic wings. Tentatively taking a bite, we confirmed that they were in fact different (the honey garlic wings being a bit too sweet for our liking) but lacked any real flavour. We also thought the breading that they used with their wings was a bit distracting and just didn't do anything for the wings themselves. The item that we were looking forward to was their Dundas Platter ($16.75) which comes with a good selection of appies to share: spring roll, salad roll, chicken satay skewer, beef skewer, and cassava fries with a vinaigrette sauce, a peanut sauce, and a house spicy mayo sauce. The best of the bunch was definitely the crispy spring roll while the salad roll seemed to be wrapped too loosely making it difficult to eat as it fell apart easily. The sauces were a bit on the weak side. Probably the best dish that we had here was the Pad Thai with Prawns ($14.75) which had a nice amount of caramelization to the rice noodles. Overall, there were a couple of good items here and a bunch that were just meh given the price.
We like Dundas .its a spot where we use to come regularly before Covid but now takeout only available . Menu that caters to all appetites and diets .I love the vegan vancity rolls . Big enough for a meal in itself. The pad thai use to be my favorite until they took away my tofu and now have to pay extra for. The bun bonhue . Although tasty should be less sugar because it tasted sweet . The pho is good and decent . Actually we tried most of the vegan menu and everything is good!
We came here for UfC last night and wow we were soooo impressed. Food was amazing, Viet with a bit of a twist. They also had a big Vegan menu which was amazing. We had rhe nachos unfortunately they did not have crab so we got pulled pork and cheese instead. They were not your usual nachos but they were individually packed with toppings. My papaya salad was great!! Loved the flavouring. Chicken wings were yummy as well. The best thing about this place is the prices are very average!!! you will not break your bank :) This is the new hot spot in East Van!! Cant wait to come back. James is great and his staff are amazing!! Someone in our group tried the 604pho Challenge but did not complete it, 5 lbs of noodles/meat if you dont finish it in 30 mins its $35. Not bad actually!!. There parking all around :).
Had to try this place because they have pho, burgers, fish and chips, Thai food, vegan....everything under one roof! I had the lemongrass chicken pho and it was hot and delicious! My sister was very pleased with the varied vegan menu and she enjoyed her vegan pho. It had crispy fried onions as topping. Nice touch. My nephew had his usual beefball pho and enjoyed it. It doesn't taste like they use MSG and I didn't get that eye strain and heavy thirst when I eat MSG. BONUS! The broth is very flavorful and they give you lots of sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeño slices and lime wedges. The menu looks so delicious and I definitely want to try everything. Price is very reasonable. Oh, and they have nachos! I don't drink but I saw they have Bridge beer on tap and other craft beers. They have several large screens showing sports. Very fast and friendly service. Food came quite quickly. Plenty of side street parking and a small lot in the front. Check google street view or you may miss this gem. We went at 4pm as I hear it can get quite busy during regular meal times. Such a great addition to this area.
A great little pho spot in what is really the middle of a food desert - this is coming from someone who has been working / running daily errands in and out of the neighbourhood for just about 10 years and counting. At work, my coworkers occasionally pre-ordered their lunch at said 'the pho place' down the road, and I would ALWAYS know what they're having because the phos were so aromatic throughout the entire open office - very drool worthy. And by all means, my coworkers raved about their satay pho (next on my to-try list). I drove past a sandwich board heading home one day and it advertised something along the lines of happy hour pho - yes please! As a quick bit, this will suffice. With the happy hour menu, I had the OPTION to pick one of their 3 signature phos. For a first timer, the classic pho will really put the restaurant to the test! My classic pho was served in a prompt manner, served with the classic sprouts and sides, it was piping hot, and I really liked that the noodles were not overcooked and still retained a bit of bounce to it. All in all, it was a solid bowl of pho - served with a nice selection of classic meats: meatballs, sliced beef, tendon, a few pieces of tripe etc. The service was great a well, the lady manning the store was very speedy with service, friendly, and attentive. The only awkward thing is the location, it's a tad difficult to maneuver into their parking lot and the space are a wee tight, but that shouldn't ward anyone away. Cute little gem in hood! read more
Excellent! One of my most favorite places to visit when I'm back in Vancouver. The platter is awesome and has a little bit of everything. It has spring rolls, fresh rolls, baos, and yucca fries with spicy mayo. I usually opt to share this with my friend and then we'll get a curry or pho that the very lovely staff / kitchen will split into 2 bowls. Angels. The peanut satay bowl is truly amazing with the perfect level of spice and abundance of flavors. I'll always be back here; every visit to Van. read more

Started with deep fried wontons, found them thoroughly unappetizing, hard, and oily. Grilled chicken salad rolls were pretty good, I liked that the chicken was warm and the noodles/cucumber etc were cold. Peanut sauce lacks flavour. Lemongrass chicken pho was super disappointing !! Even though the menu boasts the broths are simmered for 16 hours, I found the chicken broth flavour to be quite lacking, couldn't tell if it was sweet/salty from some sort of flavouring or even MSG? The chicken was just plain grilled, I'm not sure if I really could taste any lemongrass present. I also found the noodles to have a particular taste that I didn't like either. Sad because it all looked like it was going to be amazing ! read more

Ordered some takeout one evening and my order was ready in under 15 mins. They have a separate vegan menu with a lot of different options. I went for some tofu salad rolls and a sate pho. Total bill came to just over $21. The salad rolls are very filling, nicely put together, with a lot of deep fired tofu attached to the outside (as pictured) -- the peanut sauce is solid, but I've had better. The sate pho was pretty good too -- big portion of noodles, nice amount of veggies (with broccoli, bok choy, carrot), some tofu, and a big portion of broth. The broth is solid, nicely seasoned, only gently spicy. You get the usual side of basil, bean sprouts, lime, and japalepno, as with many Vietnamese places. I was stuffed after this. Very tasty and I'd definitely return. read more

Always wanted to try this place. Has a good selection of Vietnamese dishes but I feel that the flavouring is lacking and more tailored towards the western tastebuds. The flavourings are milder than what I'm used to for traditional noodle soups. Not as much depth. Spring rolls and salad rolls are good. Would give this place a 3/5. Good ambience, has a large vegan menu and a full bar. . read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this find. A friend and I had originally planned to eat elsewhere only to find it was closed. We quickly navigated through Yelp to find another place with good reviews nearby. We found this restaurant. I'm already looking forward to returning. We ordered the wonton nachos; yes, that's right, it's nachos but made from wonton chips. The red onion, fresh crab and cheese topping made this dish delicious. We also split the rate beef soup, like pho. It was also very tasty. I had the house wine for $5; however, the merlot was a bit too sweet (fruit- forward) for me. They also had good local beer on tap for a decent price. I was happy to find this unassuming spot tucked in a mini conglomerate of shops. I look forward to returning. You won't regret trying this place. It's in a semi-untapped neighborhood that contains other cool food places nearby. read more

Looking for quick place to have lunch on our way back to Seattle, we randomly dropped into this restaurant. What a good find! Tasty and unique twist on their pho - made with curry and coconut broth. The mango with sticky rice was just perfectly sweet and I appreciated the presentation effort. Will be back to this local neighborhood gem the next time we visit Vancouver! read more
